Cultural Heritage Monuments of Prizren: Cathedrals, Monasteries, and Urban Churches
The historic core of Prizren, the terraced Potkaljaja hillside, and the Bistrica Gorge formed the most complex conservation landscape in the post-March 2004 reconstruction process.
The Prizren ensemble encompasses monuments of exceptional value: the 14th-century UNESCO-listed Church of the Holy Virgin of Ljeviš, the Holy Archangels Monastery in the Bistrica gorge, the 19th-century Cathedral of St George and Episcopal Residence, the Seminary of Sts Cyril and Methodius, and the 14th-century urban churches of the Holy Saviour, St Nicholas (Tutić), Old St George (Runović), and St Kyriake.
